REPORT 


Messrs.  James  Lemmon  &  Co. 

Sirs  : — I  beg  leave  to  report  the  following  result  of  the 
survey  made  of  your  proposed  Canal  on  the  Humboldt  River. 

Beginning  at  a  point  named  on  the  map  A  to  B,  a  waste  way, 
30Q  feet  wide  ;  from  B  to  C,  Dam  across  the  river,  75  feet  long ; 
from  C  to  D,  Embankment,  1815  feet  long;  D  to  E,  Tunnel  and 
Cuts,  4026  feet ;  total  length  of  work  to  the  mill  site,  6216  feet, 
or  nearly  1^  miles. 

The  fall  at  the  mill  site  is  12  feet,  Avith  a  head  of  4  feet,  making 
head  and  fall  16  feet. 

I  found  the  Humboldt  river  to  have  a  mean  velocity  of  91  feet 
per  minute,  88,000  inches  of  Avater  as  flowing  in  the  stream,  or 
about  12,000  inches,  miners'  measure;  or  18,000  inches,  mill- 
wrights'  measure. 

The  Canal  will  supply  3,700  inches  of  water,  mill-wrights' 
measure,  equal  to  140  horse  power. 

Accompanying,  you  w^ill  please  find  Estimate  and  Specifications. 

In  the  estimate  you  will  find  timbering,  at  .'^7  per  running  foot, 
for  the  whole  length  of  the  Tunnel.  But  my  opinion  is  that  a 
very  small  portion  (if  any)  will  require  timbering. 

The  ground  through  which  the  Tunnel  will  run,  is  a  fine  soap 
stone,  and  from  all  appearances,  the  very  best  material  for  a  work 
of  the  kind. 

Yours,  respectfully, 

E.  LINN. 
Humboldt, 

Nov.  20th,  1862.

I^HOSFECTUS. 


Lancaster  Canal,  'Mill  and  Mining  Company, 

Humboldt  Co.,  Nevada  Ter. 

Under  the  above  style  a  new  Corporation  has  been  formed,  for 
the  purpose  of  giving  to  the  Humboldt  Mining  District,  an  oppor- 
tunity of  realizing  soon  the  benefit  of  that  immense  wealth,  which 
is  so  far  hidden  in  the  thousands  of  "  Leads,"  forming  a  huge  net- 
work over  an  area  of  hundreds  of  square  miles. 

To  every  one  conversant  with  the  condition  of  the  Humboldt 
Mining  District,  the  thought  must  have  arisen  how  to  procure 
power  with  which  to  extract  the  precious  metals  from  the  ores 
which  offer  themselves,  in  millions  of  tuns,  to  the  enterprise  and 
energy  of  our  time.  The  scarcity  of  wood,  or  any  other  fuel,  bars 
the  idea  of  creating  motive  power  by  steam  for  any  length  of 
time ;  and  our  attention,  by  necessity,  is  draAvn  upon  the  only  sub- 
stitute for  steam  power — water  power  ! 

The  Humboldt  river  offers,  in  its  entire  course,  only  one  chance 
of  creating  a  water  power  by  a  reasonable  expenditure  of  capital. 

This  chance  is,  fortunately,  in  nearly  a  central  position  of  the 
Humboldt  Mining  District ;  being  within  a  distance  of  from  four  to 
ten  miles  of  some  of  the  richest  subdivisions  of  the  said  District. 

The  works  for  the  creation  of  this  water  power  extend  over  a 
distance  of  only  one  and  one-fourth  of  a  mile,  and  will,  when  fully 
completed,  produce,  even  at  the  lowest  stage  of  water,  a  motive 
power  of  great  capacity. 

It  is  not  the  intention  of  this  Incorporation  to  commence 
operations  on  so  large  a  scale  as  to  absorb  at  once  this  immense 
power  ;  but  it  is  their  intention  to  construct,  during  the  season,  a 
power  sufficient  for  two  sixty-stamp  mills,  and  to  add,  as  the  devcl- 


opment  of  the  mines  progress,  mill  after  mill,  until  the  entire  water 
power  is  absorbed. 

There  is  no  need  to  enlarge  upon  the  character  of  the  work  to 
be  accomplished,  nor  the  expense  necessary  to  do  so,  as  the  map, 
report  and  estimate  of  a  first  rate  mining  engineer,  (E.  Linn,) 
fully  explains  these  points.     (^See  report  and  estimate.^ 

If  any  further  recommendation  of  the  above-mentioned  project 
is  necessary,  the  following  remarks  may  be  added : 

Isfc.  In  connection  with,  and  property  of  the  Lancaster  Canal, 
Mill  and  Mining  Co.,  are  two  valuable  Ledges — the  "  Mammoth," 
(500  feet),  in  Santa  Clara  District,  and  the  "Eclipse,"  (700 
feet),  in  Central  District,  both  at  a  distance  of  four  and  five  miles 
from  said  water  power. 

2nd.  The  success  of  our  enterprise  does  not  depend  on  the 
success  of  a  single  ledge, — nay,  we  may  safely  state,  that  our  suc- 
cess is  a  certainty,  if  only  ten  per  cent,  of  the  Humboldt  "  Leads" 
should  prove  paying,  and  therefore  workable,  mines. 

3d.  The  Humboldt  river  never  freezes,  and  the  flat  country  is 
never  covered  with  snow  deeper  than  one  or  two  inches,  and  lasting 
only  a  day  or  two. 

4th.  The  bottom  lands  of  the  Humboldt  river,  in  the  vicinity 
of  the  Canal,  &c.,  produce  all  the  year  round,  sufficient  feed  for 
10,000  head  of  animals,  and  offer  great  inducements  for  agricul- 
tural pursuits. 

5th.  Immense  salt  deposits  have  been  discovered  within  a  short 
distance  of  the  Humboldt  region ;  thus  removing  the  necessity  of 
procuring  this  indispensable  oxidizer,  at  great  expense,  fi-om 
distant  markets. 

6th.  The  great  artery  of  commercial  life,  the  Eastern  and  Pa- 
cific Railway,  will  pulse  througli  the  whole  length  of  this  region, 
and  connect  it,  at  no  distant  day,  with  the  two  great  markets  of 
the  world — New  York  and  San  Francisco.
